Ray:
With a message that refers to a 'member', I'd suspect that the AS/400 is not
recognizing that the file is a savefile regardless of whether a savefile has
been created and regardless of the <.savf> extension on the PC file.
Since your PC file has a .savf extension, a savefile does not need to exist
before the FTP transfer takes place. However, in order for the FTP server to
notice that you're transferring a savefile, you could use NAMEFMT 1 in addition
to BINARY. To get the basic Windows/DOS FTP client to tell the server that you
want to use NAMEFMT 1, use an FTP script like:
ftp> cd /qsys.lib/YourLib.lib
ftp> BINARY
ftp> QUOTE SITE NAMEFMT 1
ftp> put d:/mypath/FlName.savf
This should create a savefile F1NAME in library YOURLIB and copy the PC file in
to it.
(Note that the "QUOTE SITE NAMEFMT 1" is actually not needed in the above
sequence if the CD subcommand is the first object reference in the script. When
the first object reference is given in the <NAMEFMT 1> format, the FTP server
automatically switches to NAMEFMT 1 anyway.)
Although FTP is somewhat standard across platforms, OS/400 savefiles are not.
Fortunately, it only takes a couple tweaks to get a working script for them.
